	That is just legal stuff... Got sued for some reason or another
regarding the naming of their chips, so they claimed that naming them
'286', '386', '486', was just a coincidence.  That is why the pentium is
pentium, not '586'.  And perhaps they call MMX that because they don't
wanna call it 'pentium+' or something stupid.  =)
